What College is right for me? (Safety Schools Especially)

What do your parents think about where you can/should attend? How many schools do you plan to apply to? How many have you visited, and what have you discussed about that with your parents? Are you planning to decide career goals later, or do you have some ideas in mind now?

Have you considered receiving merit at a ‘lower’ standing school in order to preserve UG costs in the event you will want to or need to go on to graduate school?

I believe a lot of posters do want to see you applying to enough of the schools where you can gain admittance and also be able to find academic success - that way, if you haven’t visited all you are applying to, you can do later visits as things sort out on admission acceptances.

Quite a smaller percentage of parents can afford full private or full OOS tuition costs. You may be lucky in that regard.
